“Good design makes efficient use of natural resources, energy and water throughout a building’s full life cycle, including construction. Sustainability is integral to the Smart Design Studio design process. Sustainability considerations include recycling of materials, selection of appropriate and sustainable materials, adaptability and reuse of buildings, layouts and built form, passive solar design principles, efficient appliances and mechanical services, deep soil zones for vegetation and reuse of water.“ S M ART D E S I G N STU D I O
